Description
The present invention relates to a light emitting diode package, and more particularly, to a light emitting diode package and a backlight and a liquid crystal display including the same.
As the information society develops, the demand for display devices for displaying images is increasing in various forms. Recently, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), organic fields Various flat display devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are being utilized.
Among these flat panel display devices, liquid crystal display devices are widely used because they have advantages of miniaturization, light weight, thinness, and low power driving. The liquid crystal display device has a backlight as a light source. The backlight supplies light to the liquid crystal panel, and the liquid crystal panel displays a desired image by modulating the supplied light.
As backlights, cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) and external electrode fluorescent lamps (EEFLs) are widely used to date. On the other hand, light emitting diodes (LEDs) having low power consumption and high luminous efficiency have recently been adopted as backlights.
Such light emitting diodes are packaged in a package form on a so-called light emitting diode substrate so as to supply light to the liquid crystal panel. Here, the light emitting diode package includes a zener diode for protecting the electrostatic discharge (ESD) of the light emitting diode.
On the other hand, a light emitting diode driving circuit for driving a light emitting diode is mounted on a so-called driving circuit board which is separate from the light emitting diode substrate. Such a light emitting diode driving circuit includes a plurality of constant current control elements for controlling a constant current for each of the plurality of light emitting diodes.
As such, in the related art, a constant current control circuit corresponding to each of the plurality of light emitting diodes must be provided in the driving circuit board, which causes the constant current control circuit to occupy a large area of the driving circuit board. Accordingly, the space efficiency of the driving circuit board is reduced.
In addition, in the related art, a separate zener diode should be provided in the light emitting diode package, resulting in an increase in component cost.
In addition, it is true that the forward voltage of many light emitting diodes used as a backlight varies slightly due to various factors such as a manufacturing process. As a result, the power supplied to the light emitting diode also causes a deviation. That is, the power consumption of the light emitting diode package is different. However, in general, the lifespan of the entire LED package will be regarded as the same. Therefore, due to the variation in power consumption, the lifespan of the light emitting diode package is changed, which makes it difficult to guarantee the same life for the light emitting diode package. For this reason, the reliability of a light emitting diode backlight will fall.
The present invention provides a light emitting diode package capable of improving space efficiency of a driving circuit board, reducing component costs, and improving backlight reliability, and a backlight and a liquid crystal display including the same.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a liquid crystal panel for displaying an image; A plurality of light emitting diode packages mounted on a first printed circuit board, the light emitting diodes supplying light to the liquid crystal panel and a constant current control element connected to the light emitting diodes; The present invention provides a liquid crystal display including a plurality of output terminals respectively controlling the constant current control elements of the plurality of light emitting diode packages, and including a backlight driver mounted on a second printed circuit board.
The constant current control device may include a bipolar transistor and may be connected to the cathode of the light emitting diode.
The apparatus may further include a flexible circuit member connecting the first and second printed circuit boards to each other.
The apparatus may further include a power supply unit which supplies a voltage to the light emitting diodes of the plurality of light emitting diode packages in common.
In another aspect, the present invention, a backlight for a liquid crystal display device, comprising a light emitting diode for supplying light to the liquid crystal panel and a constant current control element connected to the light emitting diode, a plurality of light emitting diode package mounted on a printed circuit board The constant current control device of the plurality of light emitting diode packages includes a backlight for a liquid crystal display device that is individually controlled.
The constant current control device may include a bipolar transistor and may be connected to the cathode of the light emitting diode.
In still another aspect, the present invention provides a light emitting diode package comprising: a light emitting diode; A light emitting diode package includes a constant current control device connected to the light emitting diode, and the power consumption of the light emitting diode package is controlled according to the control of the constant current control device.
The constant current control device may include a bipolar transistor and may be connected to the cathode of the light emitting diode.
In the present invention, the constant current control device is configured in the light emitting diode package. Accordingly, even if there is a forward voltage deviation between the light emitting diodes, the same voltage can be applied to the light emitting diode package as a whole so that power consumption can be set to be the same. Therefore, the lifespan of the light emitting diode package is the same as a whole, so that the reliability of the backlight using the light emitting diode can be improved.
Further, the constant current control element is not provided in the driving circuit board on which the backlight driver is mounted, but is provided in the light emitting diode package. Therefore, as compared with the related art, the space efficiency of the driving circuit board is improved.
In addition, as the constant current control device, which is a current driving device, is additionally configured in the light emitting diode package, an ESD protection effect is generated for the light emitting diode. This eliminates the need for a zener diode that has been used for conventional ESD protection. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the component cost caused by the use of the zener diode.

Although not specifically illustrated, the light emitting diode package LEDP may further include a fluorescent material layer and a lens on the light emitting diode LED, that is, in a direction in which light is emitted. Light emitted from the light emitting diode (LED) is incident on the fluorescent material layer, so that light of a corresponding color is generated in the fluorescent material layer. As such, the light generated in the phosphor layer and the light emitted from the light emitting diode are mixed, and the mixed light can be emitted to the outside through the lens.
As a light emitting diode (LED) having the configuration as described above is an example, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a light emitting diode having other configurations can be used.

The constant current control element CRC controls the constant current supplied to the light emitting diode LED in response to the input control signal. In this regard, the constant current control element CRC functions as a variable resistor. That is, according to the adjustment of the control signal, the resistance value between the collector and the emitter is adjusted, and thus the constant current flowing through the light emitting diode (LED) can be adjusted.
As such, as the constant current control device CRC can perform a function as a variable resistor, the power applied to the light emitting diode package LEDP can be adjusted. In this regard, the forward voltages of a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) used as backlights are somewhat different due to various factors such as manufacturing processes.
For example, when the normal forward voltage of the light emitting diodes (LEDs) is 3.3V, some of the light emitting diodes (LEDs) may have forward voltages such as 3.2V or 3.4V, which are out of the above-described 3.3V. .
In this case, the constant current control of the light emitting diode package LEDP to compensate for the forward voltage deviation for the light emitting diode package LEDP equipped with the light emitting diode LED having a forward voltage deviating from the normal forward voltage. The resistance value of the device CRC is adjusted.
Accordingly, even if there is a forward voltage deviation between the light emitting diodes (LEDs), the same voltage may be applied to the light emitting diode package LEDP. As a result, the power consumption of the entire LED package LEDP can be set to be the same. Therefore, the lifespan of the light emitting diode package LEDP becomes the same as a whole, so that the reliability of the

The second printed circuit board PCB2 may be connected to the first printed circuit board PCB1 through at least one flexible circuit member FCM. Here, the flexible circuit member FCM has a flexible characteristic and is an electrical connection member having a plurality of wiring patterns. For example, a flexible circuit film, a flexible cable, or the like may be used.
In this case, in order to transmit the control signal output from the backlight driver mounted on the second printed circuit board PCB2 to the light emitting diode package LEDP, the backlight driver and the LED package LEDP are transferred to the transfer wiring TL.

It may be located on the back side.

Meanwhile, two second printed circuit boards PCB2_L and PCB2_R are positioned at both sides of the first printed circuit board PCB1, and the backlight driver (500 of FIG. 2) is located at each of the two second printed circuit boards PCB2_L and PCB2_R. ) May be mounted.
In this case, a part of the light emitting diode package LEDP is driven corresponding to the second printed circuit board PCB2_L located on the left side, and the other part is driven corresponding to the second printed circuit board PCB2_R located on the right side. Can be. For example, the light emitting diode package LEDP positioned on the left side of the first printed circuit board PCB1 based on the center line in the vertical direction is connected to the second printed circuit board PCB2_L on the left side and driven. The light emitting diode package LEDP positioned on the right side may be connected to and driven with the second printed circuit board PCB_R positioned on the right side. As another example, the light emitting diode package (LEDP) positioned above the center line of the first printed circuit board PCB1 in the horizontal direction may be one of the left and right second printed circuit boards PCB2_L and PCB2_R. The light emitting diode package LEDP positioned at the lower side may be connected to the other one of the left and right second printed circuit boards PCB2_L and PCB2_R. On the other hand, in various forms different from the above examples, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the plurality of light emitting diode packages LEDP can be driven by being connected to two second printed circuit boards LED2_L and LED2_R.
In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the direct type backlight in which the backlight is positioned below the liquid crystal panel has been mainly described.
